More about this scene
So often forgotten by travellers through Hertfordshire, Wareside is one of the county's prettiest villages. Situated on the uplands to the south of the River Ash, it straddles the B1004 road between Much Hadham and Ware. Up to the time of Dr Beeching's 'axe', its station at nearby Mardock was served by the single track Buntingford Branch railway line which also ran through the villages of Widford, Hadham, Standon, Braughing and Westmill. Frith's photographer captured views of all these communities, and it seems likely that he rode on the line during his photograph forays. It is said that in the late 1800s Wareside boasted seven public houses; the White Horse and its sister, the Chequers, were the sole survivors in 1955.
